This paper studies the possibility of human development convergence in the world from 1975 through 2005. Human development is measured by the Human Development Index (HDI) trend, and convergence across countries is tested for by the panel data approach of Ben-David (1993) and bootstrap critical...

In spite of the fact that their ageing populations, low birth rates, and resentment to take low paid jobs make developed countries more and more reliant on guest workers and migrants, many people in the rich world are still unconvinced about the necessity and long-term benefits of immigration,...

This study seeks to find out whether there existed an empirically discernable and robust tendency in the world for countries to converge in terms of human development over the last three decades. Human development is measured by the Human Development Index trend and convergence across countries...

This paper is concerned with the possible bivariate Granger causality between immigration, measured as the proportion of net permanent and long-term movement to resident population, and long-term unemployment, measured as the proportion of long-term unemployed to total unemployed, in Australia...

Following Konya (2000a, 2000b), this paper is the third in a series analyzing unemployment in Australia in the period of 1960 to 1997 with special regard to the unit-root versus stationarity hypotheses. It provides new evidence by allowing for the possibility of two endogenous breaks in the...
